He's high, she's fine
He's got her all the time
He's right, she sighs
He has a lovely dime
I write, I'm fine
Don't want to waste your time
But unsaid, denied
I washed out with the tide
So I lie
A very shiny lie
To be loose, unscrewed
Don't know where I end or where I begin!
He tries to be kind
Nothing left to define
But unsaid, the dread
He knows I've lost my mind
So I lie
A very shiny lie
To be loose, unscrewed
Don't know where I end or where I begin!

Spider

I saw a spider
He was looking for a sparrow
He wanted to
be eaten by the sparrow
He had no hope
At the end of his rope
I said to spider
“Do you have any young children?”
He said he did
and they were waiting for their dinner
“I’d rather go off myself
than see them starve,
than see them starve!”
I saw the shadow
of a sparrow coming near
I turned to shoo it
so it wouldn’t get the spider
He said, “What you trying to do-o-o?”
I said, “If you got nothing to lo-o-ose,
why don’t you wait a day or two,
and if you wanna die come find me –
I’ll kill you myself!

Everyday is a song I forgot the words to
but still I sing along
Faith to heed the day in harmony
I hear a wondrous, and yet the faintest,
I hear a love song from the beyond!
Come with me as we lumber
toward the moonlight and listen in the dark
Great to harmonize and sing with you
In the darkness when I am blindest
I hear a love tune from the sun!

Sunday

Ah, so sad we lost him on Sunday
He was a great big man
With two knots in his heart
He loved a young woman
She ripped him apart
And we tried and we tried and we tried and we tried
To put him back
And we cried and we cried and we cried and we cried
To lose the biggest man
Ah, so sad we lost him on Sunday
In the morning
In the evening
When I'm praying
When I'm singing
Wish you could be
Right next to me
When I'm wrong
When I'm right
All my life
The day I die
Wish you could be
Right beside me
